- NAWAMED, ENI CBC MED programme https://www.enicbcmed.eu/projects/nawamed
- The project aims to change conventional urban water management practices by promoting sustainable and decentralised treatment technologies, replacing potable water with good quality of Non-Conventional Water (NCW). It foresees the implementation of real scale pilot installations (8 pilots); training workshops for technical staff and decision-makers; local and Mediterranean ‘Water tables’ aimed at boosting new policies for a more sustainable water management. The countries where the project tests and demonstrates low-cost nature-based solutions (NBS) are Italy, Tunisia, Jordan, and Lebanon.

The countries where the project tests and demonstrates low-cost nature-based solutions (NBS) are Italy, Tunisia, Jordan, and Lebanon. (FR) | Main challenges/objectives of interest:
- The use of Non-Conventional Water resources for non-potable domestic uses is highly recommended by scientists and international agencies to face the growing demand and water scarcity. In urban areas, natural solutions developed vertically can be proposed, recovering walls not in use, thus contributing to the achievement of other objectives such as building aesthetics, mitigation of the heat island effect, increasing biodiversity, etc. Nonetheless, maintaining vertical gardens' benefits requires considerable water for irrigation. The solutions tested in NAWAMED couple the advantages of GW separation and reuse, with the advantages of vertical gardens.
- Main outcomes of interest/Capitalisation:
- WP1- Access to the technical information (monitoring data) about the pilots and to the local administrators in charge of maintaining the NBSs.
- WP2- URWAN will make use of the technical outcomes of testing the innovative vertical green walls to treat greywater and of collecting rainwater to reuse for public purposes.
- WP3- Use of some the communication tool developed (i.e., the short film for promoting water reuse at urban level, the webpage www.pareteverdeferla.it)
- WP4- Lesson learns from the from the experiences of the local and Mediterranean ‘Water tables’ implemented. The Mediterranean Policy Document to foster the inclusion of water demand management in national policy frameworks.
- Coordination mechanism: 3 PPs and 3 Aps are involved in NAWAMED ensuring coordination and exchange of information / lessons learnt. Further, the URWAN partners at the beginning of the project will visit the NAWAMED pilot in FERLA (IT) (implemented by the PP SVIMED and owned by the AP Municipality of Ferla), while the other ones will be shared by the partners in charge involved as APs (AUB, CERTE and Jerash Municipality).

In particular, the design challenge, under the category “Resilience & Water” was “How might citizens and local actors contribute in raising city’s resilience to tackle the more and more frequent extreme climate events (from droughts’ period to intense meteoric events)?” The solution proposed systemic service that merged public/private interest and facilitate the growing of resilient urban parks and shared awareness about climate crisis.

- LOCAL4GREEN supported local authorities for defining and implementing innovative local fiscal policies, intended to promote renewable energy sources (RES) both in the public and private sector and households, mainly in the framework of the Sustainable Energy Action Plans adopted by the signatory local authorities to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy. The project supported the testing of innovative local green fiscal policies, and the monitoring of their results in spreading renewable energy sources. 78 pilot municipalities from the 9 countries partners have participated in the project Testing phase, reaching to design for them 154 green fiscal policies to promote the use of renewable energy sources in their territories.
- LOCAL4GREEN+ is a mainstreaming initiative focusing on integrating such green local fiscal policies into the policies of new local authorities. The project will carry out a training process and will adapt the policy models to the specific features of the receiver municipalities in collaboration with working groups formed by decision makers, policy makers and other stakeholders of such municipalities. Furthermore, the project will provide technical support and will deploy a strategic liaising process with the receiver policy makers to ensure the implementation of the green fiscal policies to promote RES.

- MULTISOURCE (ModULar Tools for Integrating enhanced natural treatment SOlutions in URban water CyclEs') is an EU-funded project that will facilitate the systematic, city-wide planning of nature-based solutions for urban water treatment, storage, and reuse. With seven technical pilots across Europe and USA, a wide range of urban waters will be treated throughout the project, while decision support tools will be co-designed together with local, national, and international stakeholders. Effective and inclusive stakeholder engagement methodologies will be used for each MULTISOURCE pilot, as well as for the development of business models and planning tools.

(EN) | Main challenges/objectives of interest:
- MULTISOURCE focuses on the intersection of nature-based solutions with the four key areas of environment, circular economy, society, and policy. This is where, stakeholder engagement comes to play a key role. The Enhanced Natural Treatment Solutions (ENTS) of MULTISOURCE will demonstrate the benefits of increased water quality, water storage, reuse, but also contribute to the creation of valuable urban habitats and provide other important ecosystem services.
- Main outcomes of interest/Capitalisation:
- As MULTISOURCE targets the creation of valuable urban habitats providing important ecosystem services, its approach and outputs will be used in WP2 for the finalisation of the design of the interventions and in WP3 as input to the co-design process.

- TACTIC (Tools for Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Groundwater and Adaptation Strategies). To streamline the assessments to produce harmonised results at EU scale, and to contribute to a general enhancement of the assessments, the EU Geological Surveys collaborate in TACTIC on the development of a research infrastructure for the advancement and harmonisation of climate change assessments utilising knowledge and data on the groundwater system, which is tested in pilots covering most climate challenges and hydrogeological conditions in Europe. Supplying data and results to a European Information Platform for storage and visualisation, TACTIC will further contribute to easy access of information relevant to climate change assessments, which may be used directly or integrated into future decision support systems.

- The project will create a community of cities to foster peer to peer learning and capacity building among frontrunner cities who are experienced in delivering large scale nature-based solutions, and fast follower cities who have the desire to implement large scale nature-based solutions but lack the expertise. As knowledge and expertise increases, new members (multiplier cities) will be included. At the same time, project partners will develop policy and practices necessary to scale up urban resilience, innovation and governance using nature-based solutions. Our approach will be open and innovative, fostering the development of co-operation between local governments, SME’s, academic research and community partners.
